Wireless Security

All Wi-Fi Certified wireless LAN products are shipped in "open-access" mode, with their security features turned off. SSID, WEP and MAC authentication 802.11i WPA and WPA 2 Note: Always SSID (Service Set Identifiers) should be the same. Frequency should differ from other wireless device. But Channels should be differing from each Access Point. If Frequency increases we can get more Channels. Always Access Point and Wireless NIC Card Will Exchange beacons Packets.

Wireless Authentication Nodes
